The Marketing Department manages the development of major admissions publications for all programs, public relations, external and internal communications, brand advertising, call-to-action advertising, online marketing (web, email, social media, search), and the SIMMONS magazine for alums.

The Simmons Brand

A brand encapsulates a promise about who we are, what we do, and our reason for being. It finds full expression when our constituencies perceive and act on our inherent values and distinguishing characteristics through the communications we craft.

Through consistent use of messaging, style, the visual identity system, and our logo, a public "face" will emerge that will cement Simmons's identity in the minds of our constituencies. Over time, consistent use of the brand will strengthen understanding of our mission, purpose, and enduring values.

Messaging

CORE PURPOSE:

Transformative learning that links passion with lifelong purpose.

"In everything we have done, we have aimed to increase the visible celebration of the learning that we offer in this wonderful place—learning designed to prepare you for your life's work."
— Helen Drinan, President

A cohesive and uniform visual identity offers an effective way for the Simmons community to communicate with key audiences. The Simmons Visual Identity System (VIS) is intended to provide consistent yet flexible guidelines to assist you in creating communications that make a clear and strong impression.

The VIS provides specific standards, recommendations, and guidelines for using the Simmons logotype, graphic elements, and the color palette. Every member of the Simmons community plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of the system by consistently applying the guidelines to all internal and external communications.
